Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Leederville?
Terracotta tiles sit on a bed of mortar that's been there since the 1920s or 1930s. That mortar cracks, crumbles, and loses bond over time. Water sits between the tile and the bed, and the tile becomes loose. Rebedding means lifting tiles carefully, clearing out old mortar, and resetting them on fresh bedding compound. It's labour-intensive work on heritage roofs, but it stops the tiles sliding and keeps weather out. We do this alongside repointing as part of a full restoration.
Rebedding is when we reset tiles that have lifted or shifted in their mortar bed. It's common on Leederville's heritage homes where decades of foot traffic, weather, and natural settling loosen tiles. Rebedding is less invasive than removing tiles completely. On pre-war homes, preserving original tiles in place is part of respecting the heritage approach.

Local Leederville Expertise
Leederville is one of Perth's most vibrant inner suburbs, where a thriving cafe and restaurant strip along Oxford Street sits alongside tree-lined residential streets of beautifully maintained character homes. Located just 3km north of the CBD, the suburb was predominantly developed between the 1900s and 1930s, producing a stock of California bungalows, Federation cottages, and Art Deco homes with original terracotta roofs now approaching 90-120 years old. Modern townhouse infill adds Colorbond metal roofing to the mix. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Leederville, West Leederville, and North Perth with 15+ years of team experience, specialising in the heritage terracotta and character-home roofing that gives this inner suburb its distinctive streetscape appeal.
Benefits of Rebedding for Leederville Properties
Fixes caps at the cause
When the mortar bed under a ridge cap breaks down, the cap loosens and lets water in. Rebedding re-lays the cap on fresh mortar so it sits solid again, which pointing alone can't do.
Done with repointing
Rebedding and repointing go together. We re-bed the caps, then seal them with flexible pointing, so the whole ridge line is solid and watertight in one job.
Stops caps lifting in the wind
A cap sitting on failed bedding can slide or lift in a Perth storm. Rebedding fixes it down properly before it ends up in the yard.
Cheaper than the damage
Loose caps and a failing ridge line let water straight into the roof. Rebedding early costs far less than the leaks and ceiling damage that follow.
Our Rebedding Process in Leederville
- 1
Check the ridge line
We inspect every ridge and hip cap and the mortar bed under it, and work out which caps need re-bedding versus just repointing.
Why it matters: Not every cap needs the full job.
- 2
Lift the failed caps
Caps sitting on broken-down bedding are lifted off and the old mortar cleared away.
Why it matters: Fresh mortar needs a clean surface to bond to.
- 3
Re-bed on fresh mortar
The caps are re-laid on a fresh mortar bed, set straight and solid along the ridge.
Why it matters: The bedding is what physically holds the cap.
- 4
Repoint with flexible compound
Once bedded, the caps are sealed with flexible pointing, colour-matched to the roof.
Why it matters: Flexible pointing seals the join and moves with the roof.

Some of my roof tiles look raised or tilted. Is this dangerous? ▾
Lifted tiles are a risk during strong wind and let water seep underneath. On heritage homes, we rebedding tiles in place rather than replacing them if tiles themselves are sound. It's gentler on original material and costs less than full tile replacement.
What's the difference between rebedding and repointing? ▾
Rebedding resets individual tiles that have lifted from mortar. Repointing focuses on ridge caps and tile joints, filling gaps with new mortar. A heritage roof often needs both: repointing the ridge, plus rebedding of loose tiles quoted separately.
Does a rebedding job carry the leak warranty? ▾
Not by itself. The leak warranty applies only where the entire tiled roof has been restored including full repointing of all ridge capping - partial or sectional work doesn't carry it. A standalone rebed is still covered by the 12-month workmanship guarantee on the bedding and pointing we do, and we'll be clear about which applies before you commit.
What's the difference between rebedding and repointing? ▾
Bedding is the mortar bed the ridge cap sits on. Pointing is the flexible compound that seals the join on top. Rebedding re-lays the cap on fresh mortar; repointing seals it. A cap with failed bedding needs both. We'll tell you which yours needs.
How much does roof rebedding cost in Perth? ▾
It depends on how many caps need re-bedding and access to the roof. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote for a fixed price. We usually rebed and repoint in the one visit, which is more cost-effective than doing them separately.
Do I need rebedding or just repointing? ▾
If the caps are still solid and only the pointing has cracked, repointing alone does it. If the caps are loose or the mortar bed underneath has crumbled, they need re-bedding first. Pointing over failed bedding just fails again.
How long does rebedding last? ▾
Caps re-bedded on fresh mortar and sealed with flexible pointing typically last 10 to 15 years or more.
Can you match the pointing to my roof colour? ▾
Yes. Flexible pointing comes in a range of colours and we match it to your tiles for a clean, consistent ridge line.
What Our Customers Say
"We are very satisfied with the restoration work completed on our tiled roof. Ryan spent the time to look at our roof properly and provide a reasonable quote, along with confidence in the workmanship. The job was done on time, and left in a clean state. The roof difference is brilliant. Highly recommend Ryan and his team they are so professional and helpful."
"I have recently had a full roof restoration completed by this company and I can't recommend them highly enough. The job entailed cleaning the old terracotta coloured clay tiles, replacing damaged ones (I didn't have spares so extras were provided), fixing/replacing ridge capping etc. then sealing and painting to a gorgeous charcoal colour. All for a VERY reasonable price. I am always nervous about engaging tradies for major projects as I have not had much luck in the past. Ryan and Jack at Roof Restorers Perth have completely restored my faith that there are great companies and tradespeople out there. Ryan's communication was spot on, responding promptly to all my emails and questions. Jack, who completed the work over two days, was a delight and went above and beyond with customer service and communication, making sure I was happy with the clean up on both days and also ensuring my neighbours were happy. Nothing was too much trouble for him and I now have a functioning tiled roof that looks incredible."
